STOP/START SYSTEM
The Stop/Start function was developed to
reduce fuel consumption. The system will
stop the engine automatically during a ve-
hicle stop if the required conditions are met.
Releasing the brake pedal or pressing the
accelerator pedal will automatically restart
the engine.
This vehicle has been upgraded with a Heavy
Duty Battery, Starter, as well as other engine
parts, to handle the Additional engine starts.
Automatic Mode
The Stop/Start feature is enabled after every
normal customer engine start. At that time,
the system will go into STOP/START READY
and if all other conditions are met, can go
into a STOP/START AUTOSTOP ACTIVE “Au-
tostop” mode.
To Activate The Autostop Mode, The Following
Must Occur:
• The system must be in STOP/START
READY state. A STOP/START READY mes-
sage will be displayed in the instrument
cluster display within the Stop/Start sec-
tion. Refer to “Warning Lights And Mes-
sages” in “Getting To Know Your Instru-
ment Panel” in your Owner’s Manual.
• The vehicle must be completely stopped.
• The gear selector must be in a forward gear
and the brake pedal depressed.
The engine will shut down, the tachometer
will move to the zero position and the Stop/
Start telltale will illuminate indicating you
are in Autostop. Customer settings will be
maintained upon return to an engine running
condition.

When the ParkSense switch is
pushed to disable the system, the
instrument cluster will display the
“PARKSENSE OFF” message for
approximately five seconds. When the gear
selector is moved to REVERSE and the sys-
tem is disabled, the instrument cluster dis-
play will display the “PARKSENSE OFF”
message for as long as the vehicle is in
REVERSE.
Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in
“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” in
your Owner’s Manual for further information.
NOTE:
When ParkSense is disabled and the gear
selector is moved to the DRIVE position, no
warning message will be displayed.The ParkSense switch LED will be on when
ParkSense is disabled or requires service.

Operation With A Trailer
The operation of the sensors is automatically
deactivated when the trailer's electric plug is
inserted in the vehicle's tow hook socket. The
sensors are automatically reactivated when
the trailer's cable plug is removed.
PARKSENSE ACTIVE PARK
ASSIST SYSTEM — IF
EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system is
intended to assist the driver during parallel
and perpendicular parking maneuvers by
identifying a proper parking space, providing
audible/visual instructions, and controlling
the steering wheel. The ParkSense Active
Park Assist system is defined as “semi-
automatic” since the driver maintains controlof the accelerator, gear selector and brakes.
Depending on the driver's parking maneuver
selection, the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system is capable of maneuvering a vehicle
into a parallel or a perpendicular parking
space on either side (i.e., driver side or pas-
senger side).
NOTE:
• The driver is always responsible for control-
ling the vehicle, responsible for any sur-
rounding objects, and must intervene as
required.
• The system is provided to assist the driver
and not to substitute the driver.
• During a semi-automatic maneuver, if the
driver touches the steering wheel after be-
ing instructed to remove their hands from
the steering wheel, the system will cancel,
and the driver will be required to manually
complete the parking maneuver.
• The system may not work in all conditions
(e.g. environmental conditions such as
heavy rain, snow, etc., or if searching for a
parking space that has surfaces that will
absorb the ultrasonic sensor waves).
169

• New vehicles from the dealer must have at
least 30 miles (48 km) accumulated before
the ParkSense Active Park Assist system is
fully calibrated and performs accurately.
This is due to the system’s dynamic vehicle
calibration to improve the performance of
the feature. The system will also continu-
ously perform the dynamic vehicle calibra-
tion to account for differences such as over
or under inflated tires and new tires.
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system can
be enabled and disabled with the ParkSense
Active Park Assist switch, located on the
switch panel below the Uconnect display.
To enable the ParkSense Active
Park Assist system, push the
ParkSense Active Park Assist
switch once (LED turns on).
To disable the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system, push the ParkSense Active Park As-
sist switch again (LED turns off).
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for further
information.LANESENSE
LaneSense Operation
The LaneSense system is operational at
speeds above 37 mph (60 km/h) and below
112 mph (180 km/h). The LaneSense system
uses a forward looking camera to detect lane
markings and measure vehicle position
within the lane boundaries.
When both lane markings are detected and
the driver unintentionally drifts out of the
lane (no turn signal applied), the LaneSense
system provides a haptic warning in the form
of torque applied to the steering wheel, as
well as a visual warning in the instrument
cluster display, to prompt the driver to remain
within the lane boundaries.
The driver may manually override the haptic
warning by applying torque into the steering
wheel at any time.
When only a single lane marking is detected
and the driver unintentionally drifts across
the lane marking (no turn signal applied), theLaneSense system provides a visual warning
through the instrument cluster display to
prompt the driver to remain within the lane.
NOTE:
When operating conditions have been met,
the LaneSense system will monitor if the
driver’s hands are on the steering wheel and
provide an audible and visual warning to the
driver when the driver’s hands are not de-
tected on the steering wheel. The system will
cancel if the driver does not return their
hands to the wheel.
Turning LaneSense On Or Off
The default status of LaneSense is “off”.
The LaneSense button is located on the
switch panel below the Uconnect display.
To turn the LaneSense system
on, push the LaneSense button
(LED turns off). A “LaneSense
On” message is shown in the
instrument cluster display.
To turn the LaneSense system off, push the
LaneSense button once (LED turns on).
